Offering walk-in nail trimming for dogs and cats
With puppies, the most important thing is structure - it’s how they learn even the most basic of behaviours.
We decided to create a structured grooming programme especially for puppies.
From their first visit to the salon which can be a daunting place for any dog, through to their first full adult groom - we’re here to help guide you and your pup through it in simple, progressive stages.
Starting grooming at a young age is essential for a puppy's physical and emotional development.
Early grooming helps your puppy become familiar with the process, making them more comfortable with being handled and groomed as they grow. It prevents fear or anxiety during grooming sessions and establishes trust between you and your pet.
By introducing grooming as a positive experience from puppyhood, you lay the foundation for a lifelong habit that benefits their well-being and makes grooming stress-free for both of you
The University of Harvey's is designed to help puppies build confidence and establish a positive relationship with grooming from the start. This program includes a gradual introduction to various grooming activities, such as bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, in a calm and welcoming environment. The aim is to ensure puppies become comfortable with the grooming process, making future sessions enjoyable and stress-free.
The name of the package reflects the idea of educating young pups in the essentials of grooming, akin to going to school. This approach recognises that learning these skills early sets the foundation for a lifetime of good grooming habits and comfort with being handled. By treating grooming as a learning experience, the programme encourages trust and cooperation between your puppy and the groomer.
Our University of Harvey’s Diploma in Puppery is a masterclass designed to build your pup’s confidence over four separate sessions and ensure that they not only endure their regular grooming appointments.. but they actually enjoy them!
Enrolling your pup onto our Diploma in Puppery is the best possible start that you can give to your furry little new best friend.
We aim to introduce your dog to the world of grooming with our unique, structured four-stage package.
Ideally you would bring your pup in to the groomers at two to three week intervals from the first session (Enrolment incorporating a meet and greet (and treat!)
Enrolment day is where we get to meet both you and your new puppy properly for the first time.
The idea is to keep it light, short and upbeat and is usually accompanied with a little bribe or two!
We’ll do a meet & greet, give you both a tour of the salon, and we’ll have a discussion around home-grooming and coat-care.
Your pup goes home happy, and with a treat!
